Stacking the Shelves #82

Another busy week around here! My daughter started school on Thursday which seem way too early in the year to me. Her jazz group gave us tickets to see Herbie Hancock in concert that same night. My husband was also out of town for part of the week which also threw off our normal routine. I a hoping for a calm weekend.

I already have the audio of this book which I started listening to this week. I realized after 3 1/2 hours of listening that I was having trouble following all the aspects of the story. I love the sound effects and the narration of the audio but I think this is a book that I need to read before trying to listen to it.

What books do you add to your shelves this week?

Let me know in the comments and be sure to leave a link to your own STS post!

Wow, that does seem early for school to be starting. My friend's girls start at the end of the month. My daughter starts PreK at the beginning of Sept (6th). I hope you end up getting the calm weekend that you want! Sorry to hear that your current audiobook isn't going well for you. I really want to give audiobooks a try one day. Happy reading!

When I was in school, we started after Labor Day but it keeps getting earlier and earlier every year here. August 10 it too early! I just need to focus on the book more than I can at work. I am sure that I will listen to it some time in the future.

The sooner school starts, the sooner it ends, that's what I always believed. I was pretty excited that the Romance Readers Club free download was Good Boy by Bowen and Kennedy, because I have been wanting to read it, and I am not allowing myself to buy any books. I got approved for Prince in Disguise, which shocked me, because Disney usually denies all my requests. So, yeah, because I love Strohm and am really excited about it. I got eARCs for Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe, Olivia Twist, and Before I Let You Go. So, lots to look forward to.

Yeah, that is early for a school start date especially to me since our kids around here don't start until after Labor Day. Hope your week gets back on track now that Back to School settles down and your husband is home.

I've had a few books that have too many details or character narrations for me to listen to it first, too.

I feel like Thursday is such a weird day to go back to school, but then again maybe it eases students back into the routine easier? I've never read anything by Neil Gaiman before; however, I've always heard good things about his books. Happy reading, and have a great week! :)

It's amazing how one person being out of town throws off the routine. Everything always seems so much harder! I have this book on my TBR and it's good to know that it's one I should try in print first. Audio is not for every book!

The dogs really didn't like the change in routine which had an effect on everyone in the house. Audio might have worked for Neverwhere if you were in a situation where you could really focus but that isn't how I listen so it will have to print book for me.

About Me

I love all things books! I love talking about books, shopping for
books, reading books, and sometimes just looking at the pretty covers. I
am never without my kindle so that I will always have my books with me.
